What Affects Beach Profile?

Constructive waves alter beach morphology by causing net movement of sediment up the beach, steeping the beach profile. Swash carries sediment of all sizes up the beach, but weaker backwash can only transport smaller particles down the beach.

What is Beach Slope?

Beach slope in the tailings industry refers to the surface slope of the tailings after being hydraulically or mechanical deposited from a point of discharge. This is the slope the tailings settle at after being discharged from the end of a pipe.
